Yet, you believe God can be contained in the body of a man.
Feel free to believe that all you want. I am not responsible.
You speak with no Biblical knowledge....it is excruciating to read your nonsense
1 Kings 8:27 emphasizes God's vastness, stating that even the heavens cannot contain Him. This highlights His infinite nature and that He is not limited to any physical space.
God's Immanence:
Despite His transcendence, God chooses to dwell among His people, particularly in the temple built by Solomon. This localized presence is a symbol of His covenant relationship with Israel and a means for them to connect with Him. .
The Temple as a Symbol:
The temple was not meant to contain God in a physical sense, but rather to serve as a focal point for worship and a tangible representation of God's presence. It was a place where people could come to pray, offer sacrifices, and seek God's guidance.
Jesus as the Ultimate Temple:
The New Testament further develops this idea, with Jesus being referred to as the ultimate temple where God's presence dwells fully. Christians believe that believers themselves become temples of the Holy Spirit.
